  1. It is a fact that she was involved in drugs, this is absolutely not fair to tax payers. There was a valid warrant and officers did not shoot first!!! COME ON, this is enough crap.

    1. @Ocasio-Cortez4prez2022 No, you are manipulated… police LIE all the time when they’ve made mistakes. That’s why the boyfriend was asked to LIE in court for a lighter sentence and he REFUSED! — and if they were operating appropriately then why are they paying millions? You are gullible, not me. Go kick someone’s door down at 1am and come back to tell us how it worked out for you.

    2. @C T lmao, so blue man bad? That’s your argument? That’s as thought provoking as what I’m sure your political argument is for absolutely everything, “orange man bad”. Everyone’s favorite.

    3. @Ocasio-Cortez4prez2022 …and your kind worships orange man, thinks he’s Christ himself. You are the ones that are brainwashed. You’re in a cult, drinking that Koolaid.

    4. @C T based on what? Because I don’t blindly believe everything the lying media says, that means I must blindly believe everything Trump says? That’s a sign you’re an extremist, pal. You can’t even comprehend that there are people who aren’t extremists, you just assume everyone who disagrees with you is the opposite extreme.

    1. @Co Jack In this entire discourse, you didn’t provide one fact, not even one. Then when your cornered and proven to be a fool, you laugh and run away.
      Just like BLM, you’re a coward.
      I’m an American. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and I’m a proud Constitutional American.

    2. @Co Jack Keep hiding from reality because you refuse to face the fact that your behavior shows you to be nothing more than an angry woman who hates white people.
      Thats pretty sad and pathetic…

    3. @Christopher Long whoa buddy who said anything about a war? This handle must be a Russian bot trying to insight violence. Good day.

    1. @Phil N. de Blank You are the only one I’ve read anywhere talking about this. If you have proof of this please send it.

    2. @Phil N. de Blank so it this guy referring to British law or US law…..? I’ve googled it a few times, this seems to be very obscure. Do you have a link?

    3. @Justin Anchors : So any ‘authority’ can treat anyone they want any way they want, and the people have to bow down to that and take it? Read some history to see how that goes. I suggest Germany in the mid-Thirties. Or apartheid South Africa. Or the Stalinist Soviet Union.

      The cops DID NOT identify themselves. They bashed on the door, and then broke it down. How is anyone inside supposed to know it is ‘the authorities?’ Or for that matter, respect any ‘authority’ who does that?

    4. @Just a Guy William Blackstone was an English jurist who wrote a long treatise on the Common Law. As for links, no, but any law library will have it. I’m surprised it isn’t posted on line somewhere since the copyright has long ago expired. Some of this law developed out of the English Revolution. But also consider that in totalitarian countries like China and the old Soviet Union, these were lands of the mid-night knock when you were arrested and not too frequently just disappeared, a technique of “law enforcement’ roundly condemned by the U.S. during the Cold War but a version of which is now used here. Also, read John Whitehead’s excellent book on police abuses of power, A GOVERNMENT OF WOLVES: THE EMERGING AMERICAN POLICE STATE.

  2. They trying to silence them with money that’s how they always get us and unfortunately it works smh.

    1. Angela Turner you’ve been lied to go look it up they had been watching her house for a few months Angela cnn and Facebook will never give you the truth go do some real research and prepare to be angry for being lied to

    2. For all the uninformed – the warrant application had proven lies thus, everything that followed is fruit of the poisonous tree. NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTIONS BY TAYLOR OR OTHERS EVEN IF DTUGS WERE FOUND. I can think of $12,000,00 reasons why the city settled.

    1. @Saab_lyfe190 I wish everyone was like you-[lol ]the world would be a better place. Many people talk the talk of kindness and love but when they have to deal with those who disagree with their opinions, the lack of intelligent open mindedness, understanding and diversity of thought opens gates of hate that lead to ignorance and anger I can’t stand it how Americans can’t debate and how the truth that Americans are privy to depends on the integrity of the reporter! sad

    1. @douglas carpenter People come kicking down your door at 1 am and claim to be the police…..and you’re telling me you’d be calm and have NO urges to protect yourself from THUGS who are not even in police uniform? Yeah right 🤦

    2. C T well these weren’t crooked police…Taylor was being investigated as an accessory to drug trafficking. Again, her name was mentioned several times among known drug dealers…and her address was mentioned on that phone transcript… I’m sure they were looking for drugs – that was point of the late night raid…but not to steal the drugs but they were going after all involved with drug trafficking.

    3. douglas carpenter The police made bad decisions and it’s gonna get themselves locked up. Blaming the black victim is all you ppl do. As if any bad decisions that were made by anybody should get them killed. But anyway many ppl will go to jail behind this trust me. Do you have any -proof of these bad decisions if you do let me know

    4. @Jyoung Spins
      The warrant application was FALSE. You have so many facts(bs) but it all falls into “fruit of the poisonous tree). Sucks to be soooooo wrong.

    5. @Mr. D. What do yo mean the warrant application was false? A judge has to endorse that warrant….and at this point, the phone transcripts are on YT proving her involvement with drug dealers…so the police being at her door makes total sense…because her name was implicated several times via phone conversations between known drug dealers.

    1. @Rightsdontcomewith Permits It’s just something these Democrat run administrators do. They are elected and fighting their constituents over someone else’s money is political suicide.

    2. @leo leonaids They knocked and announced. That gave Walker time to arm himself and hide.
      They actually did a no knock on the trap house and got 5 armed men at once without firing a shot.
      They wer and after Dude, the warrant was for Taylor at her residence.

    3. @Alex Jones noooo they were both thugs- in the life of drugs. Breonna died in vain but her boyfriend shot first. sorry but the law is the law and USA is a law and order country. Breonna’s signature for rent a car that turned up with murdered drug dealer in it, boyfriend was a felon that shot his gun during search warrant by police, ummmm…these were not law abiding innocent citizens They led the thug life

    1. there is no “other side” cops had bad intel, raided the wrong house without announcing their presence, most people would be able to see a lie as a lie, but you and every other moron here is like “if what i heard isnt being told, it must be all a big coverup”

    1. @Ellen Pearl Jackson Trump headed up the largest pandemic response in the history of man . He was the first world leader to take action on covid … And you guys called him a “RACIST” and a “xenophobe”. And the continued with the bogus impeachment without any evidence. LOL . You liberals are pathetic .

    2. @C T I am positive you have the ability to understand fiscal budgets, so that part should not be so confusing.

      As far as _murder_ …

      Sorry bud, I do not see it when I see this situation. I see bad choices.

      A drug dealing boyfriend (making bad decisions), a dead body in a trunk of a rental car and some bad decisions made by Ms. Taylor that led to her death.

      I feel for the family, I wish them well, but paying them with taxpayer money for bad decisions is *wrong.*

      Be safe and *be real*
